Fired Up - Jolene Levin

Shereen El Domeiri & Nicola Hobeiche Episode 21

Coffee is more than just a beverage; it’s a connector, a conversation starter, and, let’s be honest, an energy booster. When our guest, Jolene Levin, isn’t reimagining education spaces, she’s enjoying her cold brew. Coffee not only fuels her creativity but serves as a reminder of the connections that drive her passion.

In this episode, we explore the transformative power of creative space. 

From unconventional beginnings to pioneering innovative school designs, Jolene shares her story of breaking the mold—literally. Instead of churning out thousands of identical chairs, she focused on impact-driven designs that foster movement, better acoustics, and inclusivity. Her designs transformed classrooms into environments where all students can thrive.

Jolene reveals how Pinterest was the impetus to her life-changing opportunity in the U.S. and gets real about how she got to Texas as fast she could, embracing culture shock and the challenges of scaling a business abroad.

Her journey, from the highs of securing groundbreaking orders to the lows of losing her company, exemplifies perseverance, resilience, reinvention, and staying true to your mission.

This episode dives into the emotional and professional journey of building something extraordinary, navigating uncharted waters as a female entrepreneur, and finding the courage to rebuild after adversity. Tune in to hear how Jolene’s story is inspiring a new wave of leaders to embrace grit, creativity, and the power of transformative design.
